Re: Closing Clear Lake to Tournaments

Not surprised. NewJen, BBT, and WWBT along with County mismanagement have played pivotal roles in destroying an amazing fishery. It’ll bounce back, but aggressive counter measures are needed to yield results.

Minersville won’t run out of water. The ramp runs to great depths. The real problem may be parking as campers/houseboaters keep their vehicles at the ramps for days at a time while camping/boating. If you have 4WD, there are 3 other locations where launching is available.
